The reimagining of Test Track at EPCOT continues to move forward as Walt Disney Imagineering has filed another permit for the project this week.

The new permit is to “Install Signage” and has been assigned to Design Communications Ltd (DCL), a company known for its expertise in creating custom signage, environmental graphics, and experiential elements.

Most of the visible work is happening at the front of the building, with extensive scaffolding around the new curved entrance structure that replaces the former fabric canopy.

About the Reimagined Test Track

Presented by General Motors, the reimagined Test Track is set to open in late summer 2025 and will celebrate more than a century of mobility innovation. The attraction will feature a new queue with six distinct exhibits, updated ride scenes focusing on onboard technology and personalization, and an exhilarating outdoor route designed to evoke the timeless thrill of the open road.

I'm glad that new signage is coming to the new Test Track 3.0! Test Track Presented by GM! I can't hardly wait!

Just put some blue roof tarps on the top and call it good for another decade.

You are driving up a winding mountain road stuck behind an 18 wheeler. The highway finally straightens out and you pass the truck and floor it to let out your frustration!

Gosh that was an annoying show. Turned into a preview-fest by the end. But I'm not a huge fan of the original World of Color either. Haven't seen the other variations.

I’m surprised Disney hasn’t utilized more of their go-to celeb friends for voice overs and narration in the parks. Like is it only a matter of time before we get Neil Patrick Harris, John Stamos, or even Edward James Olmos in the park?

It wouldn’t surprise me. They had far less of a purpose in 2.0 than they did in 1.0, it wouldn’t take much to justify ripping them out for 3.0

If so, let’s hope they are clever with climate control. I feel like much of the ride is hot in the summer. It’s not as much a problem at unload because of the steep decline after the high-speed loops. Separately, I’d love a John Michael Higgins cameo on 3.0!

This isn't confirmed or anything but my dark horse speculation is they might get rid of the barricade walls on the power test. As I'm sure you know they were very hit-or-miss in 2.0's later years and internally there seems to be a strong directive on keeping the ride envelope of attractions completely unobstructed.
